Normally I like using TinyWatcher for this purpose and that works great on anything Windows 98 and above for watching changes in the registry, files, etc. However despite the system requirements saying it'll run on Windows 95 it has never run on any version of 95 that I've tried across various machines. It will always fail to load with an error related to the Windows kernel (KERNEL32.DLLGetLongPathNameA) which I guess the 95 kernel is not compatible. If someone is familiar with that type of error and knows how to correct it that'd help.

But I'm curious what FSIM utilities are out there that can run on Windows 95? And out of curiosity are there such utilities for older operating systems like Windows 3.x and DOS?
 
For Windows 3.x, there were the utilities that came on the floppy with Schulman's "Undocumented Windows" book. It was lower-level, but WINSPY could list all interrupts under the system including all file reads & writes into a log.
